Heating-stove



PATENT OFFICE.

THOMAS WHITE, OF QUINOY, ILLINOIS.

H EATING-STOVE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,649, dated July 24, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS WHITE, of Quincy, Adams county, State ofIllinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciiication, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sect-ion in the plane of the line y, Fig. 3, of a stove made according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section in the plane of the line z, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a cross-section in the plane of the line Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to stoves for heating apartments, offices, and halls, and is meant to secure economy in the use of fuel, together with such a protracted or long-continued circulation of the gases and hot air from the firechamber before they escape from the stove as to cause them to give up the greater' part of their caloric while yet in the stove.

My invention in this example is shown in connection with a stove whose top is curved, so that the stove in cross-section is nearly semi-oval, its bottom being a plane surface.

The letter J designates the front, where the door is placed, and A is the fire-chamber. O is the exit-due, which leaves the stove on its left-hand side, observing Fig. 3, going from the side flue, I.

A direct due-opening, B, which may be controlled by a suitable damper, but not shown in this example, is made in the wall which separates the fire-chamber from flue I at a point opposite the exittlue C, so that when desired a direct draft may be established.

The course of the products of combustion when the direct draft is stopped is through the side opening, D, at the back part of the stove, into a side iiue, E, which, after conductingthem to the front part of the stove, delivers them into a return side flue, F, from which they go into a transverse flue, G, made across the lower back part of the stove; thence into a lower side due, H, which conducts them again toward the front part of the stove, where they t ascend into the upper side iiue, I, from which they escape into the exit-pipe C, above mentioned. VThis circuitous course gives ample opportunity for the hot gases and air from the fire to part with their heat before they escape from the stove.

The ues are straight, and can be easily cleaned of soot by proper openings in the ends of the stove or in the back alone, and the whole arrangement is such as to produce a stove very easy to make and to keep in order.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The arrangement, in a heating-stove, of the straight dues E, F, G, H, and I, in combina tion with the exit aperture vand pipe C, substantially as and for the purpose above described.

THOMAS VHITE.
